Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies for Mom
Bake Mom's day with these sweet, buttery heart-shaped sugar cookies! They are incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (Softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla flavoring
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- In a larger bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until it looks very light and fluffy. This usually takes about three minutes of mixing.
- Mix the egg, milk, and vanilla flavoring right into your butter mixture. Take a spatula and scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything is mixed in.
- Gradually add your dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix it on low speed until a soft dough forms — Tip: Stop mixing right when the flour disappears so your cookies stay tender.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each piece into a flat disc, and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for at least an hour. Chilling is the trick to keeping those crisp heart edges when they bake.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a lightly floured counter until it is about a quarter-inch thick.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to press out your shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving an inch or so of room between each cookie.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. You want the centers to look cooked, but the edges shouldn't be brown yet.
- Let them cool on the hot pan for five minutes before sliding them over to a wire cooling rack.
